The central topic of this thesis is Reverberation. Reverberation is used as a global term to describe a series of physical and perceptual phenomena that occur in enclosed environments and relate to the acoustical interaction between a sound source and the enclosure. This work focuses on the effects of reverberation that are likely to occur within common listening environments, such as car cabins and ordinary residential listening rooms. In the first study, a number of acoustical fields was captured in a physically modified car cabin and evaluated by expert listeners in a laboratory, using a spatial reproduction system. In the second study, nine acoustical conditions from four ordinary listening rooms were perceptually evaluated by experienced ... toggle 10 keywords
